@patndoris – I am using Windows XP home edition sp3; antivirus and firewall by ESET Smart Sequtiry Antivirus ver 3.0
@Ven0m – Yea! I think you are right, but the problem is that I enjoy all the administrative privileges while downloading and/or installing other applications/softwares. I am facing problems only while installing Y! messenger.
This is weird, right?!?No, nothing, I cannot format my PC due to some technical reasons. Currently, I am using an alternate for Y! messenger: Pidgin messenger.
I have no freaking idea as to why it says: “You do not have access to make required system configuration modification” when I try to install Y! messenger. I installed it from an administrator account!! I think there is some problem with my PC, administrative privileges or something.
oh yes, I am using a Vista Transformation Pack. Ok, so now I’ll uninstall it, restore my original XP settings, download yahoo messenger once again, and will report back soon. Thank you for your help Ven0m.
I am using Microsoft XP SP3 Home edition. I had been using messenger 9.0 beta successfully till about a month back, but all this trouble started when i tried to upgrade it. Help!
No matter what I try, I cannot get Yahoo! Messenger 9 or 8 (any version) to install onto my PC with Microsoft Windows XP SP3. Each and every time I try I get the same message “Yahoo Messenger install unsuccessful”
I have tried various methods of installation, including turning my anti-virus and firewall off, instead of using the supplied installation mode. I have run CCleaner in advance, cleaned my registry, and even defragmented my hard drive. I have tried deleting the Yahoo! Messenger folder from my programs directory, as well as removing any other Yahoo! related items on my computer. I have gone to the Adobe website and installed the latest version of the Flash player. I have even tried installing it while in Safe Mode.
I have also tried voodoo tactics such as trying to hold my mouth in the proper position, making a ward-evil sign, and even jumped up and down and spun around 3 times while singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
However i noticed one thing….when i download from a sub-installer that yahoo provides at its messenger website, the complete download of messenger does take place, however, during installation, it stops at 57%, and displays the message: INSTALL UNSUCCESSFUL.
But when i tried installing from a 15 MB direct installer, the installation stopped at 94% and i got the following error:
I was installing it from an administrator account already. I also created a new administrator account and ran the installer from that account, but i got the same error again as listed above in the pic.
Any idea as to why is the installer saying that i don’t have administrative privileges although i am already using an administrator account? I don’t encounter such error while downloading any other application/software.
Plz help me!!
